Looking at the reward tiers again, I'm pretty sure they're only going to have 4 starter decks available to start with (so everyone at $50 and up will have one of each of them, lower tiers can choose from the 4 available) I'm guessing Wild Rabbit + Ruby Orc + Diamond Human + Blood Necrotic (and Blood Dragon for people who qualify, but that doesn't count  ), but it would be cool if we could choose from more of them (Sapphire Dwarf comes to mind)

I'm pretty sure there'll be a starter deck for each colour. I'm guessing the reason you only get 4 from kickstarter would be that each account starts with a starter deck so giving 5 would be unnecessary.

I assumed they'd have 1 deck for each race.

But we can't trade the starter that you get when you open your account?

I remember CZE said how many starters there are total at some point, but I forget exactly how many - either 6 or 8 I think, not counting the Kickstarter one. (So either one for each class or one for each race.) There are definitely more than 5, though.

BenRGamer posted:I hope they can answer my question about trying to get an additional King tier as an addon since it's not a limited tier so I don't have to go fussing with multiple accounts before the KS ends... The easiest way to add a single extra tier without an extra KS account would be to pledge that addon tier via Paypal on their site.

Did I miss something, or is this just proof that their deck editor isn't complete poo poo? Fake edit: I guess this shows a bit on how they're managing equipment, assigning it directly to decks.

Yeah, the deck editor looks functional rather than exciting. I really hope they have the ability to sort by card cost in the final version - that seems like basic functionality and I don't see it anywhere unless it's hidden under "List Option 0". I also don't like that the costs aren't actually sorted by cost, but I'm pretty sure that's just the pre-alpha being a pre-alpha. The test draw feature is nice, though. Now, the possibility of being able to import any deck entered in an official event? That's pretty awesome if I'm not misreading it.

Yeah, that seems like such a basic functionality that if it is not in there right now it will be added pretty quickly as just about everyone complains that it is not there. I doubt it would even need to reach that point though because I think the people that are involved in making this game know that is such a huge must have feature.

Blood aggro better be a thing, otherwise I'll be sad. I think they've said that Socketable Major cards can have both a Major gem and a Minor one, so it could also be a 5/1 that domes 5, for 3, or a 3/1 that domes them for 3 and makes them discard, and makes them discard every time it hits them attacking as well. Or you could give it Rage 2 (though it seems too fragile for that and too expensive on the recast to just be used as a battering ram). I'll probably use that instead of Giant Corpse Fly. quote:I wonder if you can change gems during sideboarding? That'd be pretty awesome.

Yeah, if you could, it would be completely absurd. I guess we might get cards with multiple sockets though, but they'd have to be costed as such. A 5/1 for 3 that also hits them for 5 and comes back after trading with every creature ever to do it again would be far, far beyond anything we've seen so far in terms of cots efficiency.

Cynic Jester posted:Yeah, if you could, it would be completely absurd. The weird thing is, the last paragraph implies that socketing has some effect on the card's threshold. quote:To illustrate this with a simple example, let’s take Boulder Brute, a [WILD] 5 cost 4/4. You could socket him with cost minus 1, and get a 4 cost 4/4, or +1/+1, and get a 5 casting cost 5/5. So, depending on where you’re light in your curve, Boulder Brute as a draft pick can function as either of those cards even within a deck that is solely Wild. Of course, if you’re playing more than one shard, he could fill any number of other roles as well! That last sentence makes it seem like if you add a non-Wild Gem then it would require more than just Wild to play? I might be reading too deep into this one.

Lone Goat posted:The weird thing is, the last paragraph implies that socketing has some effect on the card's threshold. You need threshold of the color of the gem in order to get its effect. So if you add a Wild gem, you need wild threshold to get the effect, but you could play the creature without having wild threshold, you'd just not get the gems effect. Edit: That's why I was only looking at blood gems for the Warlock, as it has a 2 blood threshold, so branching into the other colored gems doesn't seem worth it until we start seeing fixing.

The way I understand it your choice of available gems comes from a) the card's shard and b) the shards represented in your deck. So a pure wild with a wild socketed card would have to pick a wild gem, but a wild/blood with a wild socketed would have a choice of wild or blood gems. Also I could be wrong.

You need a threshold of that color or the gem won't activate (i.e. you get the regular version of that card), but you can still play it, so it doesn't directly change the card's requirements. e:beaten...twice
